Self-Published Katrina Book Gets Boost From HP, Helps Local Kids

By Lynn Andriani -- Publishers Weekly, 8/31/2007

As many reports on the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina highlight how little has been done in the way of recovery to the Gulf Coast, one new book is a bright spot. Letters From Katrina: Stories of Hope & Inspiration is not only a self-publishing success story, but also a philanthropic one. Hewlett Packard has underwritten a 30,000-copy first printing of the book, and author Mark Hoog will donate all of the book’s proceeds to the Katrina Endowment to provide scholarships for Mississippi children.
